Were you using the 4Lo on Pavement? For example, the tree is in the yard, but you were pulling from the nearest driveway or street in 4Lo?

If you did, you can bind up the axles and tcase and make it harder to shift out of 4Lo. Best bet is to get onto some slippery grass or gravel, and then try to shift out of 4Lo by going about 5MPH, shifting the trans into N, and then shifting out of 4Lo.

I've had to put it in reverse and then into neutral and pull it out of 4 low, sometimes I have to mess with it for a while.

I don't know if reverse helps or just the XJ moving that did the trick.

when i was 13 and started driving my grandpa told me something about 4 wheel drive ... when your driving forward normally your rear tires wear down faster, and when shifting into 4 wheel anything you lock the front and rear tires together and thus your transfer case binds up so it is always a good idea to drive in reverse for 50 to 150 feet releasing the bind

As you may read a few months back, my heep was stuck in 4low. I don't drive it much, maybe 2 times a month. Well it got stuck in 4low again, this time I had to get underneath,disconnect the linkage and manually pry it out of for low.(I mean PRY!!) Since the last time it was stuck in 4low I had installed a 3" lift. Do I need to change my TC? adjust it? and/or a tc lowering kit? Oh yeah my part time light is on when I'm in 2Hi

I'm not sure about the XJ but my 75 Ranger's manual said to back up atleast 20 feet once you have moved the shifter out of 4 wheel drive.
